Further, we are not ineligible under the laws or official regulations of [Insert name of Employer as per bidding document] or pursuant to a decision of the United Nations Security Council.

We shall permit, and shall cause our sub-contractors, sub-consultants, agents (whether declared or not), personnel, consultants, service providers or suppliers, to permit the Bank to inspect5 all accounts, records, and other documents relating to the procurement process and/or contract execution (in the case of award), and to have them audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.
